Feedback processing and emotion regulation in nursing students during internship 2022¶

Feedback processing and emotion regulation in nursing students during internship. (2022). https://eric.ed.gov/?q=feedback+processing+and+emotion+regulation+in+nursing+students+during+internship

q2 · i? · qualitative · r3

Thematic analysis of decision-making after feedback in the interview study. The article reports agreement with negative information with deactivating emotions "led students to conclude that they were not up to the task or could not improve," yielding defensive behaviors such as avoidance and loss of motivation.

"agreement with negative information that was accompanied by unpleasant deactivating emotions led students to conclude that they were not up to the task or could not improve. The result was lower self-esteem and the opposite outcomes, which included defensive behaviors"

Feedback processing and emotion regulation in nursing students during internship 2022 (2)¶

Feedback processing and emotion regulation in nursing students during internship. (2022). https://eric.ed.gov/?q=feedback+processing+and+emotion+regulation+in+nursing+students+during+internship

q2 · i? · qualitative · r3

Same decision-making analysis: disagreement protected self-esteem temporarily and split into two emotion-dependent paths. The article reports activating emotions led students to "prove their abilities and value by showing their mastery of the skills," while deactivating emotions led to defeatism and resistance.

"If their emotions were negative and activating (e.g., anger towards themselves or the feedback source), students strove to prove their abilities and value by showing their mastery of the skills. If they instead experienced unpleasant and deactivating emotions (e.g., powerlessness), they became defeatist"
